Tour guide in London England Simon C.

"OUTSTANDING! We had a terrific half day with him and got to see so much." (Stacey, NYC) "...a terrific guide in every way. Super accommodating to our needs, and great personality that adds to the vibe." (Donna) WELCOME! The reviews don't lie, sharing the greatest city in the world with you is the best! Experience London like a local with me and you'll see why we love it. BTW, for Windsor or Stonehenge please see the other excellent guides for these out-of-town day trips. Tout est possible! I'm a little unusual in that I've been a travel writer, walking artist and performer. I've a touch of the Irish in me and you know how they can talk! I've 18yrs+ experience on four continents, contributed to London guide book listings, been on local radio to wax lyrical about the metropolis and even trained young people as guides. A personal trainer, I'm not a Blue Badge guide and my knowledge is naturally not as extensive as theirs; but I know enough history and stories for Masters students through to language school students and enjoy entertaining people. I like to keep it fun! "I was with my children and they never got bored." (Gloria, Miami) If you come East, I do regular alternative history tours uncovering the lesser-heard and more modern histories too for all kinds of organisations. My alternative Olympic tours started in 2012 & were quickly picked up by the media. If you want to see the real story of London and the Games then I'm your man. I love meeting new people and helping them discover brilliant places. We bring London to you and you bring a little of your home to us, from New York to Vancouver to the Midwest to Cali'. You'll feel at home in this welcoming cosmopolitan capital - like a Londoner - if only for a day. "...see all of the biggest attractions in London in a short period of time!" (Annie) There's a core of the best spots I like to show you that fit with the theme, but I can sometimes tailor routes if you have a special request. WANT A LONGER TOUR? A great combo is the 3. 5-hour general London tour and then - after this perfect intro to the city - zoom in to the street by level and add a 2.5-hour market experience or a street art tour in hip East London? Alternatively, book the TWO DAY TOUR to go deeper. . . London has so many different sides to it - nothing beats exploring its stories with our visitors. I do a little performance/cabaret work occasionally and I enjoy bringing that to the tours if it's relevant. I'll even sing you a song if you like and kids are very welcome. Child-free? Tours can be arranged to end in a traditional British pub :) USING EUROSTAR? I can show you London's newest hip location Kings Cross if you're going there anyway, or the Harry Potter tour can start/end there. Several of the other tours start just 15mins by subway from Kings Cross. My international guiding background - which includes North American schools, international backpackers, Brits of all ages - means I know what sort of practical questions you want to ask; and how you can get the best out of your stay here. If you're travelling onwards I've seen much of it, especially Paris (French is my second language), Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin etc - so feel free to pick my brains. So come and let's spend a few hours exploring London and I'll tell you some tales that span the centuries and show you why this particular wanderer is proud to call it home. **ACCESSIBILITY** In a wheelchair or use a stick? London is for all! If you're not so mobile, then all tours can be made into taxi-cab tours with a surcharge. London buses and some tube stations also have ramps. Everyone is welcome here.
